Pros

They have their own staffing dept., where they manage the database of employees and place them to different client's accounts, in the pretext of projects. Those are not really projects, but are actually staff augmentation roles that the clients need to get a cheaper solution, as opposed to value added project services.

Cons

The company management does not seriously consider thriving for value addition to a project. Instead, they focus more on revenue earning approach using staff augmentation and individual placement business. In spite of all the buzz words and phrases around value added consulting and technology solutions, their main emphasis is on using the technical resources as "bodies" a.k.a. "skilled worker bees" as opposed to the leaders and movers in the consulting paradigm.

Pros

Large client base. Talented people, have "cracked the code" on offshoring development and support.

Cons

For anyone used to working in US-based firms, the culture and politics will be difficult to understand and navigate. Internal policies and systems focus on the offshore delivery center model. Roles in the US do not fit into that mold, and obtaining approvals for simple expenses can require weeks and insanely high approval chains given the size of TCS. I needed approval from a global division head (a CEO direct-report) just to pay for a short training course. Missions of different departments are not clearly defined, so overlap and conflict are common.
